BIRMINGHAM want Canadian star Kyle Legault back at Perry Barr next season.

Legault saw his 2008 campaign ruined by injury when he broke his thigh in April – and when he defied doctors by returning to the saddle he was involved in a horror crash at Sheffield and broke his jaw.

Now he is considering his future, but he’s already told parent club Sheffield he wants to leave – and if he stays in the Premier League Birmingham is his preference.

But there is also the possibility he may decide to try his hand in the Elite League.

He said: “I would like Kyle back in my team for next season and I make no secret of that fact. Kyle also knows how I feel and it’s encouraging that he only wants to ride for Birmingham should he stay in the Premier League.

“And if he wishes to go into the Elite League then he would go with my best wishes.

“Personally, I believe he needs another year in the Premier League. After missing almost an entire season it is my belief that Kyle would be taking a big gamble to go full-time in the Elite League – and it would be a gamble for a club to take on him too.”
